Gary's review

An amazing two week holiday in September 2023. Jenny and Ken were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble for them and their knowledge of the surrounding area very good. A very thoughtful welcome pack with essentials and yummy treats was awaiting us on arrival. The gite was very comfortable and clean with everything we needed.

New for 2022

When La Tannerie was open as a functioning tannery, the large barn operated as the main workshop. It was a hive of activity where as many as 60 workers were employed to make state of the art leather buttons.

The larger barn ‘L’atelier du Bouton’ opened this year and sleeps up to four guests in two bedrooms.

La Tannerie can now sleep up to 14 guests.

Unique town centre location

La Tannerie is perfectly located a 5 minute walk from the quaint village of Chalais a typical French town with a hive of activity, ample bars, shops and restaurants.

There is an award-winning Monday market every week where you can sample local produce and people watch with a croissant and coffee.

Overlooking the town is the imposing and beautiful 16th century Chateau de Chalais. With it’s surrounding moat and excellent restaurant it’s definitely worth a visit.

There is a busy train station in the heart of Chalais with local routes to Bordeaux and Angouleme, both with onward connections via TGV.
